Andrano Hotel Guide - Grotta Verde hotels in Andrano, Italy.

"We were the last visitors of the season before they closed so the resort was very quiet. That said, the entire staff was fantastic, our room was very clean and very comfortable. The views from our roof top terrace were incredible too. Do your own research on local excursions. Although the staff made a big effort we had a few misses on recommended outings. "

"Hard to appreciate how idyllic the location is, until you arrive. Expectations were high - but they were exceeded. Fabulous accommodation, great location ( 5 mins to bars and restaurants) and hosts were first rate. We had a local transport problem and our host helped to sort - above and beyond. We hope to be back."

"Esperienza magnifica, ci siamo trovati benissimo e sicuramente ci torneremo! Proprietari super disponibili "

"The house was in a lovely location but was very tired. Worn paint in the kitchen and a broken glass cook top. It is very small, no living area and only one air conditioning unit in the hallway to service the whole house. This means you have to sleep with all bedroom doors wide open in order to keep cool at night. We had a problem where the very bright outdoor lights were on an auto timer until at least 3am every night and without shutters or adequate curtains made it very difficult to sleep in brightly lit up bedrooms. I asked daily for this to be addressed and it sadly was not, despite being told every day it was.The biggest disappointment to me was arriving and having to make all of the beds up myself. We were left only sheets, no blankets and one pillow each. Having paid extra for the use of sheets and extra for cleaning I would have expected to at least have the beds made up on arrival.The outdoor area had not been cleaned and they don’t provide any cleaning supplies, even to clean the kitchen bench so I had to purchase cleaning supplies to clean myself.Overall the house, anmenities and complication of all the forms, extra charges (you pay extra for electricity too) were extremely disappointing. I’ve given it an ok rating because the location is very lovely and it was great being so close to the sea.It felt pretty unloved and not at all like the lovely styled images on the website"

"Lovely house in a really special area. Maria was a wonderful host who was always quick to help with any issues and give wonderful recommendations of places to visit and restaurants. Marina di Andrano is a lovely town with two excellent restaurants and the Malibu cafe at the end of the drive did excellent cappuccinos with a spectacular ocean view. "

"location is excellent and the rooms are beautiful but it is under staffed and a little disorganized."

"Bellissima settimana in Salento grazie alla casa "Stella Marina" che ha veramente tanti punti di forza: Ha una bellissima vista sul mareUn terrazzo vivibile e frescoLa casa all interno, pur essendo piccolina, è dotata di tutti i comfort.Maria ha un tocco molto personale relativo al design: tutto è curato meravigliosamente nei minimi dettagli. La posizione della casa è strategica: una manciata di gradini la separano da una delle calette più belle di castro: la cala dell'Argentiera. Ad un paio di km c' è anche cala acqua viva con acqua sorgiva. Castro ci è piaciuta molto: i luoghi, il mare, il sole, il vento, il cibo, la disponibilità e la gentilezza dei suoi abitanti....speriamo di tornare presto!Monica e Stefano"
